Good questions
Before you start.
Your brief, Raven’s research and what happens next.
Who is RoleRaven for?
People whose next move depends on more than a title. You might bring deep technical expertise or broad experience running a startup. Your brief shapes the research; available roles and evidence vary by profession.
What does Raven research?
Raven reviews the posting, researches the company and public information about its people, and investigates your questions. These can cover the mandate, leadership, working model or commute. Your dossier shows the findings, evidence and gaps.
Can I research a job I found somewhere else?
Yes. Open the listing or hiring post, then use the RoleRaven browser extension. Choose your brief and send it to Raven for research. This also works for a job link shared by a recruiter.
Which browsers support the extension?
Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc. Create your account and brief, install the extension, and stay signed in to RoleRaven in the same browser profile.
Can it answer every question about a role?
Some answers need a conversation with the employer. Raven uses accessible public information and flags missing evidence, including details it cannot establish about a manager or working policy.
How does automatic research work?
Confirm your search criteria to enable automatic research, subject to daily limits. You can also send individual roles to research. Raven checks the opportunities; you decide which to pursue.
What happens to my CV and preferences?
Your CV helps draft your brief and informs assessments. Your CV, preferences and decisions aren’t shared with other users. Public company and people facts can be reused. Relevant CV and brief content may be processed by the AI services that provide the research.
Does RoleRaven apply to jobs for me?
You apply directly. Raven researches the opportunity and links to the employer’s application page when available, or to the job posting.
Where do the jobs come from?
Discovery uses UK listings from our job-search partners. You can also bring roles from LinkedIn, job boards and company websites through the browser extension. Raven researches them using the posting and other accessible public sources.
